Heads You Lose is the latest novel by crimewriter (and rabbi) Martin S. Cohen. We’re on the road with Saul Jacobson as he treks across Western Canada with a sullen teenaged hitchhiker. Part maccabre crime tale, part coming-of-age chronicle, Heads You Lose is also a very humourous road story with a biblical perspective. Ultimately the redemptive power of love and the meaning of friendship are celebrated in this most unusual story. Highly recommended both for readers interested in the way love can bloom in the least likely soil and for fans of Biblical decapitation tales.
